Description

This drum is a 7-inch-wide by 16-inch-deep poplar hand drum with a medium-thickness natural rawhide head on it. It has a deep tone and sounds very tubular. It sounds like a small conga drum with a long fundamental tone and a good balance of higher harmonics.

Playing drums is fun!

I started making drums because I was seeking a unique sound and form factor, but one that was also made of natural materials - something that would be playable to any kind of music, whether it be Latin rhythms, Jazz, or even Rock or EDM music! It would have to be capable of being a first-class instrument to use in the most discriminating of recordings or performances. I take these drums out to play with friends around the campfire or at venues, and I also record music with them at the studio. I make them with careful attention in my workshop in Austin, TX.

The listing is for this exact drum, pictured - It's already made and in stock - ships right away.

Reviews

I love this little drum so much. I originally got it as a cool prop for my bard character in DnD, but was really surprised. I don't know much about drums but it's super fun to find out all the different tones it can make. I want a bigger one now too...It's well made and sturdy. High-quality, unlike some of the cheap made-in-China options. I was ultimately sold on the natural finish. Really, can't complain about this product. Get you one for your desk!

FAQs

For the Drums: All natural skin drums are sensitive to moisture in the air. In an extremely high humidity environment, the drums sound lower, and in a lower humidity one, the drums sound higher. Neither condition is permanent, and will return to normal. If the drum becomes too low-pitch, the solution is to control the humidity in the room to about 50% or so. I've written a "Drum Care Guide" to help you further understand the care of these drums. A copy of it will be shipped with each drum. To read it now, it's published on the main website:
